I also saved this recipe for "OraMD" that I found somewhere on the internet that I wanted to try next. I can't remember where I found the recipe below but I think I just googled OraMD and came across it.

***You can make your own ORAMD for a tiny fraction of what the company charges. ORAMD has 3 ingredients, peppermint oil, spearmint oil and almond oil. Buy them online and get more peppermint than the other 2. I use 3 tablespoons of peppermint (it has the strongest anti-bacterial action), 1 tablespoon of spearmint and 1 tablespoon of almond. This will fill 3 ORAMD containers and costs less that 5 dollars. I cannot tell the difference from ORAMD with this ratio.

Glad to be of help. I buy the oils online at Nutritiongeeks. A four ounce peppermint oil will end up making 12 small bottles (3 tablespoons = 1 oz. and 3 tablespoons using the formula make 3 small bottles). That plus two 1 oz. spearmint and one 4 oz. almond (smallest they sell) costs about $27. 12 bottles of ORAMD for $27 is pretty good. Have fun!***

http://www.tammysrecipes.com/homemade_toothpasteI have made and liked using the first recipe without the soap and added calcium carbonate and sea salt. I have tried tooth soap too, but don't see the need if you have other things that kill germs in there. The tooth powder leaves my teeth so clean feeling!

I have been using Tropical Traditions tooth cleaner recently though because I read somewhere that baking soda and salt can be too harsh of a scrubbing agent to use all the time. I am not sure if that is true or not. The Tropical Traditions cleaner is probably pretty similar to the Tammy's recipe one. It is ok - it works and is gentler than the tooth powder I was making. I still use the tooth powder a couple times a month.

Hi again,

I read somewhere that you can make your own homemade toothpaste by mixing peroxide, sea salt, and baking soda. Has anyone had experience using either this formula or another homemade formula that you can share - hopefully a formula where your teeth won't fall out while using it :-}.

Thank you,

Aneta
